Quality of Life

A low cost of living, access to quality healthcare and affordable housing, and a family-friendly reputation – the state’s capital, Raleigh, ranks No. 1 on Forbes’ list of Best Cities to Raise a Family – make North Carolina an ideal place to call home. North Carolinians also enjoy a moderate climate year-round and unique access to a variety of natural landscapes, flanked by the Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and 300 miles (483 kilometers) of beautiful beaches to the east.
